Hernia Surgery
Spigelian Hernia
Spigelian hernias are rare interparietal hernias that develop along the semilunar line of the lateral abdominal wall. They are often difficult to diagnose clinically and may require imaging confirmation. At his Bengaluru clinic, Dr. Adarsh has managed numerous spigelian hernias using laparoscopic techniques for accurate repair.
About Spigelian Hernia
Spigelian hernia is a rare abdominal wall hernia that occurs through the Spigelian fascia, located along the lateral edge of the rectus abdominis muscle. Because these hernias develop between muscle layers, they are often difficult to diagnose clinically and may require ultrasound or CT scan confirmation. Dr. Adarsh has expertise in diagnosing and repairing these uncommon hernias laparoscopically.
